I cite that all the time because I think I have cognitive trouble in making the leap from the verbiage in the menu to actually picturing what I'm going to eat. Obviously, it doesn't tell you about taste, but the Denny's menu (which I believe they don't do the same way any more) with it's overhead images of the plate was so great - you got so much info.<BR/><BR/>It's a bit of an adventure in a fancier-type restaurant to order something and not know if you are getting it all mixed up in a sauce, or as separate meat-and-potatoes type items, or what. <BR/><BR/>The simplicity of presentation in the menu can be a pleasant relief - although, the sense of adventure may be lost. I don't know that Denny's dining is really about adventure.<BR/><BR/>I think the sushi boat experience (isn't that more how it's known) is definitely adventure-like, though, because you can get fairly engaged in watching what is coming around next and trying to get the one you want, etc. <BR/><BR/>I was also reminded of how restaurants in Japan have plastic replicas of their dishes in a window outside the place. There's even a part of Tokyo that has many stores that sell the individual pieces you could use to make up a variety of fake plastic meals. Pretty helpful for tourists who can't read what's written, but can point :)Steve Portigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974765788548616925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13445517.post-1130865518721060662005-11-01T09:18:00.000-08:002005-11-01T09:18:00.000-08:00Kinda makes me wish I liked Sushi.Kinda makes me wish I liked Sushi.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041705175957121211noreply@blogger.com
